Description

Technical Field

[0002] As one of the most critical devices in the power system, the reliability and stability of extra - high - voltage large - oil - immersed power transformers directly affect the safe and stable operation of the power grid. When an arc fault occurs inside a large transformer, the surrounding insulating oil quickly vaporizes and decomposes to form high - temperature and high - pressure bubbles. The compression of the surrounding insulating oil by the bubbles correspondingly causes the internal oil pressure of the large transformer to rise. This process poses a great threat to the mechanical structure of the large transformer. If the pressure generated within a short time exceeds the bearing capacity of the oil tank, an explosion accident will occur. In recent years, there have been multiple equipment explosion and combustion accidents caused by high - energy arc faults inside extra - high - voltage large transformers, resulting in serious economic losses and adverse social impacts.

[0003] Currently, the method of welding stiffeners on the outer wall of the transformer oil tank is generally adopted to improve the structural strength of the transformer oil tank and reduce the probability of explosion and combustion accidents. However, at present, the layout and installation dimensions of the stiffeners on the wall of the oil - immersed power transformer are mostly based on trial - and - error iterative design.

The shear stress term can be expressed as , represents the actual transverse shear strain along the direction, represents the actual transverse shear strain along the direction, d A represents the area element, N represents the total number of finite elements after the stiffener is discretized.

[0030] (4) where represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the rotational component around the axis of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, is the component of the in-plane load on the upper edge of the power transformer oil tank in different directions, is the component of the out-of-plane bending moment per unit area at the connection between the stiffener and the oil tank wall in different directions, is the out-of-plane load per unit area on the oil-immersed power transformer oil tank, represents the component of the in-plane load per unit length of the stiffener in different directions, represents the component of the bending moment per unit length of the stiffener in different directions, represents the shear force per unit length in the virtual displacement field, represents the virtual displacement field in the direction of the translational component, represents the virtual displacement field in the direction of the local rotational component, N represents the total number of finite elements after the stiffener is discretized, represents the j th element's area domain, used to calculate the load contribution inside the element, represents the j th element's boundary, used to calculate the load contribution on the boundary. d A represents the area element, represents the boundary area element.

[0031] Step (6): Taking the control equation of the transformer tank structure in Equation (2) and the volume constraint equation of the stiffener 3 as the constraint conditions, and maximizing the stiffness as the optimization objective function, the optimization problem of maximizing the stiffness of the stiffener 3 of the oil-immersed power transformer can be written as:

[0032] (5) Among them, represents the bilinear form of the stiffness operator, represents the adjoint variable, represents the state variable, u 0 represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure, represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure, represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, U represents the allowable displacement space, which contains all displacement fields that satisfy the geometric boundary conditions and continuity, represents the total volume of the stiffeners, represents the volume constraint value of the stiffeners, represents the j volume of the th unit of the stiffeners, j represents the h area domain of the N th unit, A represents the thickness of the stiffeners, which is usually a constant or varies with position,

[0033] If represents the Lagrange multiplier of the volume constraint equation of the stiffeners, then the Lagrangian function of this optimization problem L can be expressed as:

[0034] (6) Among them, represents the j area domain of the u 0 represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure, represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure, represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, Represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, Is the linear form of the load operator, representing the virtual work contribution of the external load, Is the bilinear form of the stiffness operator, describing the stiffness characteristics of the structure, Represents the total volume of the stiffeners, Represents the volume constraint value of the stiffeners.

[0035] Assume that the sub-boundary where non-zero external forces (bending moment per unit length of the stiffener M , in-plane load per unit length of the stiffener N and shear force per unit length caused by the local shear deformation of the tank wall Q ) act does not change (i.e., the design velocity of the free boundary shape of the stiffener = 0), and the forces acting on the oil-immersed power transformer tank (in-plane load per unit area on the oil-immersed power transformer tank f , out-of-plane bending moment per unit area at the connection of the stiffener 3 and the tank wall , out-of-plane load per unit area on the oil-immersed power transformer tank ) do not change with space and time (i.e., , is the derivative of the in-plane load per unit length with respect to space and time, is the derivative of the out-of-plane bending moment per unit area with respect to space and time, is the derivative of the out-of-plane load per unit area with respect to space and time). Then, using formula (6), the derivative of the Lagrangian function of this optimization problem is derived: (7) where

[0036] (8) where, Represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure, Represents the shape derivative of the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure, Represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure, Represents the shape derivative of the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure, Represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure, Represents the shape derivative of the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure, Represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, Represents the shape derivative of the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the component of the rotational displacement of the transformer tank structure about an axis in the virtual displacement, represents the shape derivative of the component of the rotational displacement of the transformer tank structure about an axis in the virtual displacement, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the shape derivative of the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the shape gradient function, is the boundary unit outer normal vector in the plane, represents the design velocity of the free boundary shape of the stiffener, represents the admissible function space of the design velocity, N represents the total number of finite elements after the stiffener is discretized, represents the elastic tensor of the bending stress, represents the elastic tensor of the membrane stress, represents the elastic tensor of the shear stress, represents the gradient of the actual local rotation field, represents the gradient of the virtual local rotation field, represents the gradient of the actual displacement field, represents the gradient of the virtual displacement field, represents the shear stiffness coefficient, represents the component of the actual local rotation field, represents the component of the actual rotational displacement field about an axis, represents the component of the virtual local rotation field, represents the component of the virtual rotational displacement field about an axis, represents the Lagrange multiplier of the volume constraint equation of the stiffener, represents the boundary area element.

[0038] Furthermore, it can be deduced that when the optimality conditions of the state variable , the adjoint variable and the Lagrange multiplier of the volume constraint equation of the stiffener are satisfied, the derivative of the Lagrangian function can be simplified to: (9) where, represents the shape gradient function, is the boundary unit outer normal vector in the plane, represents the design velocity of the free boundary shape of the stiffener, belonging to the admissible function space of the design velocity, represents the inner product.

[0039] The shape gradient function is obtained by substituting the self - adjoint relationship into Equation (8): (10) where represents the gradient of the actual local rotation field, represents the gradient of the actual local rotation field equivalent to the virtual local rotation field, represents the gradient of the actual displacement field, represents the gradient of the actual displacement field equivalent to the virtual local rotation field, represents the shear stiffness coefficient, represents the component of the actual local rotation field, represents the component of the actual local rotation field equivalent to the virtual local rotation field, represents the component of the actual rotation field about the axis, represents the component of the actual rotation field about the axis equivalent to the virtual rotation field about the axis.

[0040] Step (7): When the condition of maximizing the stiffness of the stiffener 3 is satisfied, the derivative of the Lagrangian function is equal to 0. Therefore, according to the derivative of the Lagrangian function and the shape gradient function, the design velocity of the free - boundary shape of the stiffener 3 is obtained. According to Equation (9), it can be known that the design velocity of the free - boundary shape of the stiffener 3 is proportional to the shape gradient function and can be expressed as: (11) where is the in - plane unit outer normal vector on the boundary , represents the design velocity of the free - boundary shape of the stiffener, is in the opposite direction to the shape gradient function

[0041] The design velocity of the free - boundary shape of the stiffener 3 is divided into the in - plane design velocity and the out - of - plane design velocity . Furthermore, the analysis control equation of the design velocity of the free - boundary shape of the stiffener 3 is: (12) where is the in - plane design velocity, is the in - plane design velocity along the direction, is the in - plane design velocity along the direction, is the out-of-plane design speed, is the bilinear form of the stiffness operator, is the local rotation design speed, represents the translational displacement component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the rotational component about the axis of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the local rotational component of the transformer tank structure in the virtual displacement, represents the shape gradient function, is the boundary is the in-plane unit outer normal vector on the boundary, represents the boundary, represents the allowable displacement space, and the superscripts in each variable all represent the element number, represents the admissible function space of the design speed.

[0042] In addition, in order to obtain the optimal free boundary shape of the stiffener 3, the entire region of the transformer tank structure is fixed (i.e., the design speed of the entire region of the transformer tank structure V 0 = 0), and it is assumed that there is no change in the out-of-plane direction of the stiffener 3. Therefore, an additional constraint is imposed on the change in the normal direction of the surface of the stiffener 3 (i.e., the out-of-plane design speed = 0).

[0043] Step (8): Use the design speed of the free boundary shape of the stiffener determined in step (7) to iteratively update the shape of the transformer stiffener 3, and continuously repeat steps (1) - (7) until the iterative convergence condition is met (i.e., the increase in the overall stiffness of the stiffener 3 after two consecutive optimizations is less than the preset threshold) or the constraint condition (the volume constraint equation of the stiffener 3) is met, to obtain the optimal shape that maximizes the structural stiffness of the oil-immersed power transformer stiffener 3.

[0044] Step (9): Output the optimal shape that maximizes the structural stiffness of the oil-immersed power transformer stiffener 3 obtained in step (8).

[0045] For the oil-immersed power transformer and its stiffener 3 structure after the optimization of the stiffener 3, see Figure 4 There is an oil conservator 1 and the optimized stiffener 3 on the power transformer oil tank 2 of the power transformer.

[0046] By comparing and analyzing with the initial shape, compare the deformation amounts of the oil-immersed power transformer tank structure under the oil pressure load generated by the same internal arc fault, and verify the improvement effect of the structural stiffness of the optimized oil-immersed power transformer stiffener 3.

[0047] According to the above optimization method, the deformation amounts of the oil-immersed power transformer with and without the optimization of the reinforcing rib 3 under the oil pressure load generated by the same internal arc fault are as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown. It is set that the total energy released by the arc fault caused by the internal fault of the oil-immersed power transformer before and after optimization is the same, which is 10 MJ. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the comparison of the deformation degrees of the transformer box body structure before and after the optimization of the reinforcing rib 3. Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , after the size parameters of the reinforcing rib 3 are optimized, the area where the deformation amount of the central area of the oil tank wall exceeds 22 mm is significantly reduced. The calculation results show that this optimization method realizes the maximization of the stiffness of the reinforcing rib 3 structure of the oil-immersed power transformer, enhances the explosion-proof performance of the transformer box body, and significantly reduces the risk of the transformer explosion accident.

[0048] Refer to Figure 7 , another embodiment of the present invention provides an optimization system for maximizing the stiffness of the reinforcing rib structure of a power transformer, including: An arc fault simulation calculation module, which is used to establish a geometric model of the oil-immersed power transformer and the reinforcing rib structure, load the finite element model, and perform simulation calculations on the internal arc fault of the oil-immersed power transformer according to the finite element model to obtain the fault oil pressure load; A control equation and volume constraint equation acquisition module, which is used to perform stiffness analysis on the oil-immersed power transformer and the reinforcing rib structure based on the fault oil pressure load to obtain the control equation of the transformer box body structure; analyze the reinforcing rib structure to obtain the volume constraint equation of the reinforcing rib; A shape gradient function acquisition module, which is used to take the control equation of the transformer box body structure and the volume constraint equation of the reinforcing rib as constraint conditions, and the maximization of stiffness as the optimization objective function to obtain the shape gradient function; A design speed acquisition module for the free boundary shape of the reinforcing rib, which is used to calculate according to the shape gradient function to obtain the design speed of the free boundary shape of the reinforcing rib; An update module, which is used to update the shape of the transformer reinforcing rib by using the design speed of the free boundary shape of the reinforcing rib, and determine the optimal shape for maximizing the stiffness of the reinforcing rib structure according to the update result.

[0049] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the optimization method for maximizing the stiffness of the reinforcing rib structure of the power transformer is realized.

[0050] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the method for maximizing the structural stiffness of the reinforcing rib of the power transformer is implemented.

[0051] The present invention establishes a geometric model and a finite element model of an oil-immersed power transformer and the reinforcing rib 3 structure, and numerically simulates and evaluates the mechanical response of the transformer tank wall structure and its reinforcing rib 3 under internal arc fault conditions. Then, based on the shape gradient function, a sensitivity analysis of the optimization objective is performed on the boundary shape of the reinforcing rib 3. Combining the sensitivity analysis results, the boundary shape of the reinforcing rib 3 is iteratively updated and optimized. Finally, on the premise of meeting the iterative convergence conditions, under the constraints of the control equation of the transformer box body structure and the volume constraint equation of the reinforcing rib, the structural stiffness of the reinforcing rib 3 is maximized, overcoming the limitations of the traditional trial-and-error iterative design method based on engineering experience, combining the finite element calculation method and the sensitivity analysis technology, adapting to the rapid iterative requirements of the structural optimization of the reinforcing rib 3 of the power transformer oil tank 2, and the explosion-proof design requirements under harsh fault conditions. The present invention improves the mechanical compressive capacity and structural safety of the oil-immersed power transformer under internal arc faults.
